Plenty of couples do not agree on what equates to a beautiful item. I will not be as trite as to use the differing sexes as the basis of these dueling opinions, but admittedly it does make for a good example. Nor will I go the route of using the appeal women tend to have to hand painted ceramics and textiles, and the draw that men often feel to sports memorabilia or antique farm equipment. What I am getting at is that there is something nearly everyone is attracted to and that is a bargain.
As such, last week when the honey and I shot over to the weekend market last Saturday we both set out alone. Then at the designated time both met back up with our loot in hand. It is a well established agreement that we have regarding this activity that we spend no more than a certain amount, and we conceal any disapproval we might have for the others find.
Ironically, we both reappeared with a single arm chair, from the same vendor, and same set of chairs. This has never happened before, bit the delight was not lost upon the passer byers as we giggled. And as soon as that came to a close, we desperately ventured into the discussion of cost.
Obviously, both of us over the years has contended that we are the better haggler, and here in front of us would lie the proof of the matter. And then at the last minute before divulging the info, we had a change of heart. We decided to leave that aspect of our relationship a mystery to be debated over the next several years.
